DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY
Transportation Security Administration
New Agency Information Collection
Activity Under OMB Review: Pipeline
System Operator Security Information
Transportation Security
Administration, DHS.
ACTION: 30-day notice.
AGENCY:
The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) has forwarded the
new Information Collection Request
(ICR) abstracted below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR
describes the nature of the information
collection and its expected burden. TSA
published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments, of the following collection of
information on July 29, 2009, 74 FR
37723. The collection involves the
submission of contact information for
the company’s primary and alternate
security manager and the telephone
number of the security operations or
control center, as well as data
concerning pipeline security incidents.
In response to July 29, 2009 notice,
TSA received four comments from
industry stakeholders. Letters
addressing their respective comments
have been sent to each stakeholder. No
comments were submitted regarding the
submission of contact information for a
pipeline company’s primary and
alternate security manager and the
telephone number of the security
operations or control center.
The primary focus of the comments
received pertained to the reporting of
security incidents and suspicious
activity to the Transportation Security
Operations Center (TSOC).
Recommendations were made for TSA
to clarify the intent of the incident
reporting criteria and examples. As a
result, TSA modified the Pipeline
Security Guidelines to reflect TSA’s
desire to be notified of all incidents
which are indicative of a deliberate
SUMMARY:

attempt to disrupt pipeline operations
or activities that could be precursors to
such an attempt. Such information is
necessary for TSA to fulfill its
responsibilities as the lead Federal
agency for pipeline security.
Several comments discussed the
potential for duplicative reporting of
security incidents to both the TSOC and
the National Response Center (NRC). 49
CFR parts 191 and 195 mandate that
pipeline operators report incidents
involving the release of natural gas or
hazardous liquids to the NRC. There is
no requirement under these regulations
to report suspicious activity.
Additionally, based on 33 CFR part 101
facilities operating under the Maritime
Transportation Security Act (MTSA) are
required to report incidents and
suspicious activity to the NRC. TSOC
has coordinated with the NRC to obtain
pipeline incident/suspicious activity
reports that may be of concern to TSA
in the event that a pipeline operator
submits a report only to the NRC.
However, the vast majority of events
that TSA requests operators report
would not fall into these categories.
This is supported by the actual pipeline
operator incident/suspicious activity
reporting that TSA has observed over
the past five years. Consequently, TSA
believes that duplicative reporting, if it
occurs, would be minimal.
DATES: Send your comments by
September 15, 2010. A comment to
OMB is most effective if OMB receives
it within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to Desk Officer, Department of
Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via
electronic mail to
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed
to (202) 395–6974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation is
available at https://www.reginfo.gov.
